Eren and Connie have known each other since playschool and ever since then it's just been the two of them against the universe, they love playing video games, and football but in school, they were both classed as loners.
Not that that cared much they were perfectly happy to just hang around with each other snacking on pop tarts or anything they happened to bring from home they did this for years.
There now in high school, year 10, there still best friend and still have no friends, not that either of them care much.
Over the years they both gained hopeless crushes on girls but never did anything about it, and even if they did it would probably lead to nothing so why bother.
This time though Eren's gained a crush on someone else but this time the girl is only the hottest girl in school, the head cheerleader, and he's way out of her league, She's of Japanese descent, and she's very attractive, even Connie can admit that.
Eren admires her smile, her athleticism, the way everyone likes her, it's amazing, it's also completely futile, she's a girl you'd get if you was popular, which he isn't, for him, she's a girl he'd only get in his dreams.
Another thing was both Eren and Connie were both very gullible, more Eren then Connie so if anyone told him he was ugly, or a useless, nobody, he'd believe them and close in on himself it's happened on many occasions as it's happened to Connie also.
This time it was more hopeless, utterly hopeless, she has many friend, was hugely popular, and he only had Connie, he's nothing special either, he doesn't play football, at school he's just the loner who's always with his other loner friend eating snacks that what most people think.
All this goes to prove he has no chance whatsoever of getting her, he doubts she's even looked at him, and why should she, it doesn't stop him from watching her. Connie's told him to stop but he can't she's so perfect.
This time he's caught staring by Jean Kirstein, a jock, who happens to like her also, so he thinks it's about time he dissuades him.
Mikasa's not his yet, and if he can't get her nobody will.
Eren and Connie are talking about the weekend when he approaches them "Hey, you turd skin."
Eren reluctantly looks up Jean smirks "Stop staring at Mikasa, do you seriously think you'd stand a chance with her? you're a pathetic nobody, she wants a real man not a Wuss, like you? I'm trying to help you here, make you see sense, she doesn't like people staring so stop got it."
He walks away smiling, and Eren sighs "Dammit, he's right, I'm a nobody, why do I keep doing this."
Connie sighs "I'm sorry buddy, but did you really expect anything else your sights were set way to high."
Eren sighs "I know, common let's get out of here."
Connie sighs "And go where exactly."
Eren shrugs "Anywhere but here, we only have PE left, and I'm not staying, if you're staying then I'll see you later." Eren stands up and grabs his bag.
Connie sighs, and picks up his bag and they walk out of the cafeteria then slip out of the school.
Mikasa saw Jean walk over to Eren and Connie and he had a few words with Eren then walked away smiling, she also noticed Eren's face seemed to drop, she then saw him get up and leave followed by Connie, She saw them leave the school also.
She looks over at Jean who's smiling at her she just rolls her eyes and looks away.
Eren and Connie walk around town, for a while checking out game stores, then they come across the arcades, there usual stomping grounds, it's also surprising why teachers from all school's don't come here, as kids are always here, when they shouldn't be.
They start walking around until they see Mortal Kombat II and nobodies playing it, so they have a few battles against each other, before they take it in turns completing the games, Eren with Scorpion, and Connie, with Sub Zero.
After they do that they move on to Sega Rally but they only play on that for a short while before moving on to Time Crisis 2, they team up to complete that also.
People are watching them now, not many, but a few, they watch them and comment on how in sync they are with each other, They shoot, and then hide, it's like there a swat team or something. After that they move onto Terminator 2, which they also complete.
After that, they walk around, they can hear people talking about them but they don't care that much, strangely it happens more often then they thought.
They walk around until they see Guitar Hero, they pick a song and start playing they can already tell people are watching them, they play the song as a duo and finish it without making a single mistake.
They pick another song and yet again complete it without making a mistake.
Two hours later, Mikasa, Annie, Sasha and Hitch are walking through town, there walking past the arcades, For some reason Mikasa, looks in there's like 20 or more people all crowded around two people playing a game, she notices that the two kids are Eren and Connie, respectively.
She then hears two kids talking one of the boys smiles "24, straight songs on here without a single mistake it's insane, there so in sync with each other, earlier they both took turns in completing Mortal Kombat II neither of them lost a fight there like veterans or something, then they played Time Crisis 2 and Terminator 2 and completed them also, these two are like a two man killing machine,
The kid grins "It's like there robots or something."
The other smiles "There here all the time."
Mikasa surprisingly smiles, It explains where they've been since they both left the school three hours ago, have they been her all this time.
Sasha smiles "Did you hear that it's totally badass."
Mikasa nods "Yea it's impressive."
They overhear the two boys talking again the first boy who spoke earlier speaks again "After a while they were taking requests and they did all them without mistakes also."
Sasha smiles "Wow, any song that's cool."
Mikasa nods "It is, That is really impressive "Come on, let's go."
Sasha nods and they walk off.
Eren and Connie finish their 25th song, people kept asking them for requests, they didn't mind that much, but now they're tired their arms are hurting as are there fingers.
Eren turns around "Sorry, but were done."
The Kids groan, but they congratulate them, it's kind of weird really it's never happened before, they both smile, but it's all new to them. Some people from school are also congratulating them.
Some even pat them on the back before they leave, After they leave they head off home.
The next day the two of them are playing cards, when a kid walks up to them, he smiles "Hey you two."
Eren looks up it's not that guy from yesterday although they have seen him around before. He smiles "Hi."
The kid smiles and opens up his bag and pulls two items out he smiles again "My dad works at the arcades you frequent he got these printed out."
He shows them the t-shirts, on the front it says Guitar Hero Rock Legends on the back it shows all 25 songs they played, and completed without a single mistake, he passes them the t-shirts "All 25, songs you did, how do you do it, my dad said you were awesome."
Eren looks at Connie who smirks "Were Robots."
The kid laughs "I see, well my dad also said you completed Mortal Kombat II, Time Crisis 2, and Terminator 2 before you kicked ass on Guitar Hero you must be massive gamers or something."
Eren grins "That's classified."
The Kid laughs "Names Tommy Wagner, you two are alright, so why is it classified."
Eren grins "That's also classified, Tommy."
Tommy grins, "I hear ya, well catch you later, Robots and enjoy your t-shirts."
Eren grins "Thanks, Tommy."
Connie nods "Yes Thank You."
Tommy nods "Don't mention it, catch you later."
He smiles and walks off. Eren and Connie, both look at the t-shirts and laughs and do a fist bump then they laugh again.
He smiles and happens to looks over at Mikasa's table, then sees Jean coming over again and groans "What does he want."
Connie shrugs "Who knows, but I guess were going to figure It out."
Jean stops next to them "Heard about your little game, thing you trying to impress her or something, I told you already you're a nobody, now I didn't want to say this but I guess I have little choice, so I'll tell you both, when girls look at you, they run away and puke, you two are like the ugliest, mother fuckers I've ever seen, your even uglier than those ugly Rangkors, from Star Wars, and damn, there ugly, you should quit whilst your behind."
Connie sighs "You really are an arsehole, you know that."
Jean looks at him and just punches him knocking him out. Eren jumps up and does a sort of jumping uppercut catching Jean by surprise, and under his chin knocking him flying over the table and like Connie he's out cold.
He looks at Jean, then Connie, then puts the t-shirts in his bag, before putting it over one shoulder and then he grabs Connie's bag and puts it over the same shoulder, before he scoops up Connie and puts him over his other shoulder then he leaves the cafeteria.
Again Mikasa saw what was going on, She saw Tommy give them a t-shirt each and have a laugh with them before walking off. She saw them fist bump, then laugh it made her surprisingly happy again then it all went pair shaped as she saw Jean walk over to them again, and their faces seemed to drop.
Then she saw Jean talking to them and Connie say something which caused Jean to punch him which in turn caused Eren to jump up and uppercut him knocking out Jean in the process.
Sasha also saw it and said Eren did a Shoryuken from street fighter,
Mikasa then saw Eren pick up and carry out Connie she thought to herself He's pretty strong it seems, but even he was struggling. She wonders why Jean keeps on picking on them, is he just being an ass like usual, or just being a bully.
She loved it when Eren upper-cutted Jean she was for some reason proud of them for getting there t-shirts, there pretty talented it seems.
Something about Eren is starting to intrigue her, she doesn't know why, she also wants to know why Jean's seems to be picking on them, although now he might think twice after what just happened.
